I just recently rewrote what I have for Shannon and I honestly love it more than my original thoughts. I also changed my thought process for Claudia; originally I thought of her as a widower, but I started developing her husband and now I’m like he needs to be alive and fun.

I’m still somewhat torn on what I’m doing with Stacey.

Kristy, Abby, Mallory and Logan have been pretty set. I recently expanded on Mallory’s wife and Kristy’s husband though.

Like Kristy and Dawn are good enough to be leads on Peter Pan.

Shannon is the musical theater kid having been in a couple of productions.

And we know Jessi is supposed to be awful.

Where do you think the others land on this list? We never really got a musical member so I’d be curious to know where they rank.

They really don’t give a reason why just that the new girl Rebecca takes over. I wonder if she had something on him to make him pass it over to her or was he retiring?

I really like season three so I’m curious to know what happened.

Watson and Kristy are totally handing out full size candy bars. Stepfather like stepdaughter lol.

Claudia is giving away that hard candy that come in bracelets and necklaces. I think her parents gave out those “healthy” but still candy like heath bars.

I can see Sharon and Richard giving out microwavable popcorn packets, but when she is an adult, I could Dawn giving out apples or raisins. Mary Anne this is interesting I could see her get away something healthy, but also candy.

Not sure about Stacey and Maureen.

Like Mary Anne seems to like those old-fashioned girly names from book 52, like Bea and she likes Tara.

Kristy would like the sporty sounding ones maybe something feminine but short like Sierra.

Dawn would choose something really hippie like like meadow or Paisley Sage or something.

Stacey is choosing something trendy, but timeless. Maybe Alexandra?

Claudia definitely goes in the way of something being creative and unique. Or she could name her kids after colors like Scarlet.

Mallory would probably choose something literary. She might even name her daughter something like Hermione before Harry Potter was popular because she’s read that Shakespeare play.

Maybe Jessi would choose something out of a ballet? She mentioned she also liked Rosemary in a book.

Abby would totally go for the gender neutral. Like Morgan, Avery, Peyton, etc.

I feel like Shannon would pick something very smart sounding, maybe even historical? I could see her having a daughter and aiming her Victoria.

What are your headcanons?

At first, I started going through the mysteries and then I realized this extended way past more into the regular books too. Here’s my list so far:

Kristy for finding Jake in mystery four.

The entire club for uncovering Carl Tate and the dog scheme in mystery seven.

The entire club submits an article for the paper in snowbound.

The entire club is also mentioned in the school paper for the article Jessi writes about the Peter Pan production. Claudia even has her personals column too.

Stacey I think is mentioned in an article and aloha babysitters.

Abby made British tabloid news when she stepped on the faux Prince Harry’s foot lol.

The club found the missing deed for the arboretum in mystery 19.

When the girls went missing in island adventure.

The movie had them fix up a greenhouse for the club, but that didn’t work because it was too hot. Maybe someone else’s house?

I think they should have fixed up the third floor in Watson’s mansion. Sure they got the ghost of Ben brewer but think of all that space.

I was watching an old episode of the old series - Stacey Takes a Stand where made a little dance and a potluck. And it occurred to me that we never really got a Father’s Day book in the series like we did Mother’s Day.

So if you were to make a Father’s Day book, what would you make?

Book 122 would have been fun as a super special (minus what happened to Mallory that is). I would have loved to see Mary Anne of the other girls classes.

Is there any others you can think of?

I just reread Welcome Home, Mary Anne to make myself feel better today and I nearly forgot how much I liked it. Sunny, Dawn, and Mary Anne sneaking off to New York was so much fun (and they never got caught!). Mary Anne talking to Sunny about not having a mom was also heartbreaking and sweet.

I wish we got more books like this from this series. Instead we got Kristy dealing with kidnappers and this stupid fight between Stacy Claudio over an idiot.

I’ll have this reoccurring dream that I’m at a bookstore and there’s more books - like a book 200 and it’s just out of my reach.

Anyone else?

I’m rewriting my fan fic about mystery 19 where Kristy simply calls her grandma and asks if she’s related to Christina Thomas.

Is there any other books where you’re like that could’ve been solved with a phone call?

I really wish we got to see more of Kristy’s extended family. Actually all the girls extended family.

I wish we saw some of the BSC sitting for Karen’s classmates would’ve been funny to see how they handled Pamela Harding.

What are some other ones You wish you saw?

So I’m reading when he was wicked and I realize all three other stories are running at the same time. Like in the background Eloise is already writing to Philip. Colin and Penelope are getting together.

I don’t know how to do it, but I kind of want to read this in chronological order like put all the bits and pieces together.

This is just me ranting. I don’t think anybody else wants this, but I just thought I’d share 🙃.

So at the end of Stacey’s problem, Maureen says she wants to open her own clothing store in stoneybrook. She mentioned having Stacey work there and spotlighting local artists.

Personally, I think she’ll do a pretty good job. Maybe not become a chain store but a nice local place.

In terms of personality not exactly a fully thought out futures.

Like I don’t think Claudia would marry another artist. As much fun as she thinks that would be, I like the idea of her ending up with someone who could appreciate her art and not give constructive criticism or worry if one got more famous then the other. I can see her with someone who loves kids and is great with them. I could see a parallel between Russ and peaches for her.

Stacey strikes me as someone who would marry a person who’s has a third or fourth and his name. Definitely a rich guy who’s from another big city if not New York, maybe someone who’s new money or a self made man.

Kristy also strikes me as someone who would marry a person with the number in their name and also rich but more like old money, kind of rich. She’s gotten comfortable since moving to Watson‘s neighborhood. And also she’s more likely to spend more time with people in that neighborhood if no one‘s willing to drive her anywhere and she doesn’t wanna walk/bike very far. Also another dog/sports person.

Mary Anne - just ends another person who loves to read and loves kids. They’re probably not as sensitive as Mary Anne is sensitive in their own way. Also whoever it is most likely another cat lover because Mary Anne probably got like two or three more since moving out lol.

Mallory - she’s definitely adding up with someone who it’s probably an extrovert, or at least someone who could handle her big family at Christmas haha. Like Claudia, I can’t see her ending up with another writer/artist, but definitely someone who appreciates the arts.

Logan - for some reason, I can see him ending up with Grace after all (she had a crush on him first and then all of a sudden it was Cokie for whatever reason). Considering she’s OK as a person without Cokie’s influence, i’d love to see this dynamic. I could see her just being someone who is very much into school spirit and sports supports his career as a gym teacher/athletic director.

Shannon - i’m actually on the fence about her getting married, but if she does it’s gonna be someone who is not from Stoneybrook. She’s probably living in another country and finding someone who’s very educated and cultured.

I personally can’t see Dawn, Abby or Jessi marrying. But throw out all the headcanons you have, I love reading them!

So the SES > SMS > SHS pipeline makes sense.

SDS is the private school in the area, fair.

Then we get stoneybrook academy. In the book Karen’s prize we learn the school is K-8. I assume the students would go to SHS once the reach high school. In Karen’s magician this gets retconned to be k-6. Where do these kids go now? Like to SDS for middle school? Another middle school? Can it just be k-8 instead?

In book 6 we’re introduced to Kelsey middle school because it’s the school Kristy would go to in Watson’s neighborhood. Sam confirms that the middle school and the elementary school is in a different district - so it is confirmed there is a Kelsey elementary in a roundabout way. And kids who go to Kelsey middle will just go to SHS.

In book 71, Claudia goes on a date with a guy who goes to the Paulson school. It’s all boys and I’m assuming is k-12. Which leads me to question, is there a girls school too?

In book 94, Dana Cheplin and her brother go to yet another private school called The Miller School which “just outside of stoneybrook” and has a bus service. I’ll assume this is k-12 too.

In book 56, the Lowell kids are wearing what looked like private school uniforms, but a name is never given. I’m going to assume this is the miller school too, and I feel like it would have been narrated if the uniform was the same as the day school.

I’ve been thinking that Stoneybrook is like a mashup of the real Westport and Norwalk CT. So I’m assuming that the number of schools would track.

If I drew Stoneybrook as a Venn diagram I think Watson’s neighborhood would be the middle connecting the rich kid public school to the regular kid public school making the commute easy.

And the reason why I bring this up is because I’m writing a fanfic where Kristy joins a teacher cadet program and is worried about getting placed too far/the boys school/with snobby kids. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out how many elementary schools are in this town. You think we could get this streamlined for fan fic writers?

Or at least had charges pressed against them? Like all the fights that happened in the spirit war book had to result in someone being charged.

Or the gym class Kristy and Cary had to teach in book 122. They had real literal broken bones between those students - were charges pressed?

Or even Claudia’s broken leg when she sat for the Sobaks. That was literally Betsy‘s fault. Her parents should have paid for Claudia‘s medical bills.** **

Just a random thought, this might not stay up very long.

First book in my mind was Kristy and the hazing for the girls softball team. The Stacey and the Robert relationship. Some of the dangerous stuff they got into in the mysteries.

Anything goes! There’s a few books that are distinctly middle school but there’s a few that I think really fit a hypothetical “hey there in high school now” kind of feel to it.
